4.2 out of 5

The 2013 Kia Optima Hybrid delivers a balance of style, excellent fuel efficiency (~40 MPG reported), and modern tech features like Bluetooth and infotainment screens, which customers love. However, limited trunk space, inconsistent braking performance, and mixed opinions on seat comfort and noise dampening are notable drawbacks. Reliability is rated positively overall.
